Re: [10GBT] THP coefficient set clarification & robustness



We've been looking at several lines, that have taken us some fair amount
of effort to accumulate.  After we've gotten the coefficients that
people are proposing for the standard, and have verified the results, we
may post some of the line measurements as an example.  First, however,
we'd like to get the proposed coefficients verified, without typos.  Do
you have them, and do you have them working on any of the line models
already posted?  If so, that would be a step in the right direction.

Hi George,

Would you be able to post your measured line data to the reflector?
We'd like to have a look at the issue you're raising, and want to
make sure we're using the same channel data.

Thanks,
